I don’t think very many of Trump’s 11 million came from 18 year olds. So you’re still talking about Archived Message

people who were of voting age in 2016, didn’t vote for Trump, and then did in 2020. That’s not because of “turnout”. Turnout is a measurement of a result; it’s not a cause of anything. It’s not like everyone is sitting on their couch with their minds made up, someone pulls the magic turnout lever, it says “62%” and then that’s how many people go to the polls Previous Message population is increasing, we had the highest voter turnout since 1960, and 2016 had two candidates with high levels of unfavorables. there were 8 million more possible voters in 2020 than 2016 just due to population increase. had turnout stayed the same, trump would have gotten a ~4 million vote increase on that alone. so yeah, 11 million more voted for trump in 20 than 16. 15.4 million more voted for biden than hillary.
